Perko Boat Cover Sockets, For 3/8 in Battens, Chrome-Plated Zinc Alloy

Overview

The Perko 0578DP0CHR is a pair of boat cover sockets for cover support battens. It is made from chrome plated zinc alloy and sized for 3/8 inch wood or polymer battens, with a 1-7/8 inch by 7/16 inch opening, a 3-1/4 inch overall length, a 5/8 inch overall width, and #6 screw mounting.

This hardware is used where a cover support batten needs a fixed receiving point on the boat. The slim width helps when space is tight along trim or other narrow mounting areas, and the chrome plated finish keeps the look in line with other visible deck and cover hardware.

It is a straightforward replacement part for boats that already use this style of cover support, and it also works for new installations where the batten size and mounting footprint match these dimensions.

Key features

• Chrome plated zinc alloy construction for a finished look on exposed cover hardware
• Fits 3/8 inch wood or polymer battens
• 1-7/8 inch by 7/16 inch opening helps confirm fit before drilling or reusing an existing location
• 3-1/4 inch overall length and 5/8 inch overall width suit narrow mounting areas
• Uses #6 screws, which helps when matching replacement hardware to an existing setup

Installation and fit

Before mounting, check the batten size and compare the opening and overall length with the available surface on the boat. This is especially useful when replacing only one side of an older cover support arrangement and trying to keep the geometry of the cover frame the same.

Because this piece is small and visible, it is worth checking screw spacing, edge clearance, and how the batten will sit once the cover is under tension. That matters most on cockpit covers and similar setups where the support hardware needs to stay aligned as the boat moves and the fabric loads shift.

Use on board

This part makes sense for boats that use removable support battens to hold a cover up over seating, consoles, or cockpit space. It also suits owners replacing worn or missing sockets and wanting a clean chrome plated match with existing hardware.
